EMPLOYMENT
1998 – Present: DLSC
Owner (1998-2004: part time, since 2004: full time Java consulting and freelancing)
The result of my work at CMU was a Java/Swing library called "Dirk's 'J' Toolkit (DJT)." I started marketing DJT and licensed it to approximately 200 companies and developers worldwide. DJT was discontinued in January 2007 and replaced with FlexGantt, a far more advanced Gantt charting framework.
2003 - 2004: Credit Suisse Financial Services (CSFS), Zurich, Switzerland
Assistant Vice President, Java/XML Lead Engineer, Senior Systems Engineer
I was the deputy manager of the department responsible for defining and implementing standards for the proper usage of Java development environments (IDEs), tools (CVS, Ant, JUnit, Clover), and application servers (BEA, Tomcat) at Credit Suisse Financial Services (CSFS). As a manager I was responsible for a dozen employees. I was also an architect and a project team leader and in charge of the design and implementation of the central build and deployment tool at CSFS. This tool will eventually be used by hundreds of Java developers.
1999 – 2003: SKYVA International, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Senior Developer
At SKYVA I was an architect, programmer and team leader and trusted to take over tasks critical for the company's success. I was in charge of the design and implementation of several development tools, which were part of the company's product, an IDE called "skyva solution environment." The tools I wrote covered a wide range of issues related to business process modeling, web page control flow, backend connectivity, and visualization of scheduling agents via Gantt charts.
1996 – 1999: Robotics Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Senior Research Programmer
Primary focus of my work in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University was the design and implementation of a user interface library for the visualization of results produced by the planning and scheduling framework OZONE. This framework supports mixed-initiative scheduling applications with a strong emphasis on events triggered by a human scheduler. Hence, the interface had to be highly interactive allowing the user to specify and enter various types of events.
1994 – 1996: OFFIS, Oldenburg, Germany
Assistant Research Scientist
I was employed part-time at the Oldenburger Forschungs- und Entwicklungsinstitut für Informatikwerkzeuge und Systeme (OFFIS). My responsibilities included the design and implementation of a graphical user interface for the cancer registry of Lower Saxony.
EDUCATION
1993-1996: Carl von Ossietzky University, Oldenburg, Germany
Diplom-Informatiker / Master Computer Science
Thesis title: "Globaler Leitstand." The goal of my research was to realize a system capable of making global (enterprise wide) scheduling decisions in cooperation with local (on site) scheduling applications. The thesis was implemented using AI concepts and AI programming languages. The resulting GLORIA (Global Reaktives Ablaufplanungssystem) application became part of the multi-site planning and scheduling research effort at OFFIS.
1992-1993: Towson State University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Exchange student
At Towson I focused on lectures in mathematics and databases. I was also employed part-time on campus at the physical plant where I helped to set up an inventory database.
